Emiya Shirou Doesn't Want to Work Overtime [121]

The Church, just like Yggdmillennia’s castle, was hidden deep within dense forests, surrounded by layers of towering trees, appearing exceptionally secluded.

Though each faction knew perfectly well where their opponent’s stronghold was, they still maintained appearances, stationing themselves deep within the woods as if to preserve the illusion of secrecy.

In the dense fo...

Sighișoara was a city founded by Saxon settlers in the twelfth century.

Like Trifas, this city still preserved the deep, medieval European atmosphere, giving one the illusion of having stepped back in time.

It wasn't too far from Trifas either.

Almost every inch of Trifas lay under Yggdmillennia surveillance. Even Shirou’s chance encounter with Mordred on the street ...

Shirou Emiya and Mordred’s meeting didn’t last long. After all, they remained enemies. Even though they could speak amicably by day, once night fell, their swords would inevitably clash.

When that moment came, both Mordred and Arthur would fight at full strength. To hold back would dishonor both sides.

Naturally, Shirou learned the name of Mordred’s Master—Kairi Sisig...

"That's...Excalibur?"

Mordred’s Master asked cautiously, staring intently at the sword Arthur had revealed. Having summoned a Knight of the Round Table, he naturally knew the legend of King Arthur inside out.

When Arthur had unexpectedly produced the sword, it immediately brought to mind the weapon Arthur obtained after Caliburn was destroyed—Excalibur, granted b...

The fierce exchange between Arthur and the unknown Servant continued unabated.

A relentless flurry of punches and kicks narrowly grazed Arthur’s body again and again. Her chaotic and unpredictable fighting style had indeed proven troublesome for him.

But that was all. Arthur’s eyes suddenly narrowed as he spotted an opening.

His hand flashed out swiftly, catching th...

“You know, walking around town openly with your Servant makes it pretty easy for your enemies to gather intel.”

The fierce-looking man casually reminded Shirou Emiya.

Though he probably wasn't in a position to lecture anyone, since he and his own Servant had been doing the exact same thing moments earlier—strolling openly through the streets without bothering to conceal...

Tracen Academy

Symboli Rudolf sat comfortably at her tidy desk, sipping steaming black tea while browsing through a laptop in front of her.

After spending the entire weekend diligently catching up on paperwork, Rudolf had earned herself a few days of leisure. Now, she finally had time to do something she’d been meaning t...

“Hehe...Rice Shower’s so adorable...” Mizuno mumbled dreamily.

Rice Shower’s ears perked up, immediately catching his quiet words.

“Onii-sama?” Rice Shower’s cheeks flushed red as she stared at him in disbelief.

Did...Onii-sama just call her cute?

But if he really did find her cute, why didn't he say it directly to her?

Maybe...it was just her ...

No matter how Luck desperately called out, Mizuno remained frozen, trapped in the charm spell cast by Rice Shower’s adorable display. He stood there like a lifeless doll, completely vulnerable.

Monday afternoon rolled around again, marking the start of the usual training session.

As always, Mizuno arrived at the training grounds early and waited quietly at the edge until Urara and the other Uma Musume joined her. Once everyone was gathered, he walked over.

“Good afternoon, everyone,” Mizuno greeted warmly, stepping into their field of view.

Beneath the thick covers, Rice Shower curled up tightly, clutching a pillow close to her chest, cheeks flushed bright red.

Dragonspine.

The only place in Mondstadt covered in snow and ice all year round.

The massive corpse of the dragon Ursa lay sprawled in the valley known as Sleeping Dragon Gorge.

This formidable monster, honestly, with Artem’s skills, driving it away was possible, but killing it outright? Nearly impossible.

Ursa’s flight speed was incredible—so fast that even...

Two days later, two major events rocked Mondstadt.

The first:
With the Knights of Favonius’ approval, Snezhnaya’s Northland Bank officially opened in Mondstadt, taking over the former Goth Grand Hotel as its headquarters.

Beyond basic deposits, the bank’s main business was collateral-based lending.

Residents could use their assets to secure interest-free or low...

Ursa the dragon came in a fury, and left just as quickly.

Dawn Winery had barely managed to organize a counterattack when Ursa was already beating a hasty retreat, a far cry from its earlier viciousness against the patrol and cavalry squads.

But even in those short ten minutes...

The vineyards that had survived even Stormterror’s rampage were utterly destroyed.

Actually, it was two days earlier, The Ninth Harbinger, Pantalone—The "Regrator" and the Fatui's greatest financier—had already arrived quietly in Mondstadt with his retinue.

Yet after entering the city, Pantalone didn’t go to the Goth Grand Hotel to meet with Artem. Instead, he took his time touring the city, sending his subordinates to investigate the prices of goods and re...

After she finished admonishing Artem—

Arlecchino did not leave Mondstadt, nor did she try to seize Artem’s authority or meddle in his affairs from behind the scenes.

Most days, she was either nowhere to be seen or could be found standing atop a rooftop, gazing silently out over the city.

So everything proceeded just as originally planned, running smoothly and withou...

Teaching Eris [Water Ball] with chant had one very immediate consequence:

Swordsmanship class hadn’t even begun, and everyone was already drenched.

It all started about half an hour ago—

Right after Eris successfully cast her first [Water Ball], and the atmosphere on the front lawn hit a euphoric peak.

Between Rudeus and Eris, leaves danced and whirled in their open palms.

The reactions among the group varied.

Rudeus stared down at his hand, his mind filled with memories of Allen’s steady, tireless encouragement over the past two years.

Through his correspondence with Roxy, he had gradually come to understand just how advanced his magical abilities were in this worl...

A breeze stirred through the courtyard, threading its way between red and white strands of hair.

Eris looked down at Sylphy’s hand.

“Then why didn’t you learn swordsmanship?”

Her red-brown eyes flicked to the side, stealing a glance behind her.

Sylphy smiled.

She had once been fascinated with swordsmanship—thanks to Allen. That image of him beside ...

The Boreas household didn’t have any such thing as a post-lunch nap on its daily schedule.

After the meal, with blood rushing to their stomachs, the three little ones—excluding Allen and Ghislaine—walked with slightly wobbly steps.

Logically, people should start feeling drowsy around now. Allen had already mentally prepared himself for Eris to dash off around the neares...

“Eris!!”

“Yes!!”

Two voices rang out one after another—one old, one young—clearly only a short distance apart, but shouting as if they were separated by dozens of meters. The sudden outburst pulled Hilda’s drifting thoughts back to the dining table.

Turning his head, Sauros looked at Eris and finally broke into a smile.

Thanks to Allen’s warm and enthusiastic invitation—

Edna fled in a panic, her smile frozen on her face.

She didn’t even want to sit in on the afternoon’s swordsmanship or magic classes.

As for the reason, perhaps it was because in her eyes, Allen was just too unpredictable.

If she had to watch a few more swings of the sword this afternoon, she mig...

The midday sun was radiant—

But even its warmth couldn’t drive away the chill that had settled in everyone’s bones.

All eyes were frozen on Ghislaine.

Even Allen, who had been ready to sit back and enjoy the show, was stunned.

He had, after all, been the one to steer the conversation into this uncharted territory—but even so, his expression of dumbfounded ...

With a loud thud, Eris shot up from her seat, slamming her hands on the table.

“Why do we even need subtraction, multiplication, or division?! When would I ever use that stuff?!”

“Subtraction is used when you’re getting change after buying something.”

After the reading and writing class ended, Rudeus—who had been tortured for two full hours—finally let out a long sigh of relief.

During the break, four beastgirls arrived carrying elegant trays, offering snacks that included delicately baked, fluffy bread and a light, fermented fruit beverage.

For the trio from Buena Village, this was their first real taste of a noble’...

Once the schedule was finalized—

Under Edna’s direction, they immediately launched into a tightly packed trial day of classes.

Edna herself insisted on staying behind, citing, “If anything unexpected comes up during lessons, it’ll be easier to adjust on the fly.”

The moment their eyes met, Kitahara Takeru’s heart sank.

Why is she here?

Like a thief caught red-handed, Takeru instinctively turned to escape.

But before he could even move, Eriri’s once-bright eyes dulled the instant she realized it was him.

She turned away and silently returned to unpacking her table.

Right. I’m Kitahara Takeru now. No...

“Doma-san.”

Kitahara Takeru bent down slightly, lowering his head to meet Doma Umaru’s gaze. A faint, teasing smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

“You didn’t seriously think I wouldn’t recognize you just because you wore a hat, tied up your hair, and threw on a mask… did you?”

As he spoke, he reached out and gently removed the mask from her face.

After catching a real whiff of something sweet on Kitahara Takeru, Kitagawa Marin couldn’t help leaning in even closer.

The nearer she got, the better he smelled. That fragrance clung to him like an invisible magnet, making her want to close the distance even more.
